System Management
TANDBERG provides a comprehensive set of management tools, and is committed to the use of
standards-based tools.
The TANDBERG 8000 can be managed in many ways:
Locally by remote control
Locally by a computer connected directly to the videoconferencing system (e.g. via
RS232, a standard asynchronous serial port or via the codec’s Ethernet port using a
crossover cable)
Remotely, by a computer connected to the videoconferencing system via
LAN/WAN/Internet
Remotely, via an external router/modem one can dial into the modem which needs to be
connected to the codec’s Ethernet port

LAN Interface Set-up
The LAN interface supported on the TANDBERG 8000 is 10base-T and 100base-T compatible.
The system supports the following settings of this interface:
•
Auto
The codec will auto-detect the speed/duplex on the LAN
•
10/Half
The codec will connect to the LAN using 10Mbps speed/Half Duplex
•
10/Full
10 Mbps speed/Full Duplex
•
100/Half
100 Mbps speed/Half Duplex
•
100/Full
100 Mbps speed/Full Duplex
In auto negotiate mode, the codec will try to dynamically change to different ethernet speed
settings. However, when a forced setting has been made, it will be done during startup, so a
reboot is necessary on the Codec.
If problems with codec set to
Auto
(usually due to switch/hub incompatibilities), please check
the following:
a)
If switch/hub uses
Auto negotiation
Set codec to 100 or 10 half duplex (do not use full duplex)
b)
If switch/hub uses
Fixed setting
Set codec to the same setting as the switch/hub, ensuring that both speed- and duplex-
settings match
‘DHCP’ (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) can be selected when a DHCP server is
present. When using DHCP, IP-address and IP-subnet mask are not used since the DHCP server
assigns these parameters. When using DHCP the address given is displayed in the boot-up text
and in ‘Test Network’ in the menu.
If ‘Static’ is selected, the codec’s IP-address and IP-subnet mask must be specified in the
TCP/IP settings menu.
To connect to a LAN use a standard Ethernet cable (or order TANDBERG part number
110879). The cable specification is:
